Dua Lipa has been teasing her upcoming sophomore album “Future Nostalgia,” for months now. This week, the British pop star gave us not only a cover art, photographed by Hugo Comte, but a release date of April 3.
In November, Lipa released the album’s lead single “Don’t Start Now,” and followed with the release of the album title track in December. Earlier this month, she released a live-music video for the hit single.
The album teasers and singles have been giving us nostalgic yet futuristic 80s vibes, especially after the release of her new single “Physical,” and its technicolor video. The single even borrow’s lyrics from Olivia Newton John’s hit “Physical.”
The video finds Lipa dancing on different colored-coded platforms surrounded by dancers in matching multicolor outfits. The music video also blends in some animation along with the live action, and then ends with a rainbow-colored dance ensemble as the finale. The video feels like one big epic flash mob, which Lipa told us to expect in an interview with Billboard.
Lipa’s debut album was released in June 2017. She won Best New Artist at the 2019 Grammys, and earlier this week she presented the same award to Billie Eilish at the 2020 Grammys.
